Flagler County Sheriff's Office deputies allege that Irvine went out for a drink. The baby's mother, whose name has not been released, told authorities that she was at work on Friday night (in the US) and had left Irvine, her boyfriend, to care for their child, NBC Miami reported.

The baby's mother has told police that she called Irvine several times before 11pm. When he finally answered, he allegedly said he was "watching the game" before hanging up on her, according to a sheriff's report obtained by the Daytona Beach News-Journal.

The woman came home to find Irvine urinating on himself while attempting to get in through the garage. She told police that Irvine admitted he had been out drinking, but claimed he hadn't really left their son alone because the "pit bull was watching the baby."

The mother reportedly found her child crying alone in a room with the door shut. The dog was reportedly sitting outside.

The woman contacted police and Irvine was arrested about 12:30am on Saturday.

Police said Irvine claimed he had been home all Friday evening but a bartender at a local bar, however, told officers that she saw Irvine at around 9:30pm that night, the sheriff's report states. She also noted that he did not pay his tab.
